AMD Ryzen 9 7900X3D is currently its lowest price yet, costing you £447. Although Amazon UK lists this as a 44% discount, we haven’t seen it exceed the £600 mark in months. Prices for the chip fluctuate wildly, but it’s realistically around 10% off its average. Still, it is definitively its best price ever and amps up the value tremendously.
Residents across the Atlantic can nab 23% off the same processor, bringing it down to $463.23. This is a stone’s throw from the lowest we’ve seen on Amazon US, and we rarely see it reduced at all.
This is the second in AMD’s current generation to debut with 3D V-cache. Essentially, this doubles the L3 cache to 128MB, offering the most on any consumer processor. What that means for you is much better gaming, going toe-to-toe with the best CPUs that are usually in a different weight class. Under the hood, you also get 12 cores, 24 threads, and a 5.6GHz boost clock.
Grabbing one at a discount means you sidestep the premium 3D V-cache usually brings with it. Buy one sooner rather than later, and AMD will even throw in a free copy of Avatar: Frontiers of Pandora. It’s a lot like Ubisoft’s other games, particularly Far Cry, but a bit more refined.
If these are too rich for your blood, AMD Ryzen 7 5800X3D is a smidge over its best price, reduced to £269.49. Once again, ignore the -49% tag on this one as it hasn’t been full price over the past two years. It’s probably closer to 12% off. US folks can also get one for $315, chopping 30% off the overall price tag.
Ryzen 7 5800X3D is one of the cheapest ways to get 3D V-cache, being from the previous generation. It was the very first to include 3D V-cache. That doesn’t slow it down, though, as its 100MB L3 cache will easily carry you through modern games. Plus, the last time we saw it reduced so low was six months ago, so you’d do well to grab one while you can.
